The death toll from Russian attacks on Dnipro during the night of April 25 has increased to four, according to regional military administration head Oleksandr Hanzha. The strikes have also left 27 individuals injured, including two children.
Among the injured, a nine-year-old boy is receiving outpatient care, while a 17-year-old girl has been hospitalized in serious condition. Earlier reports indicated that three people had died and 21 others were injured.
The attacks involved a combination of missile and drone strikes that ignited fires across the city, damaging local businesses and partially destroying a four-story residential building. Several other apartment complexes and private homes were also affected.
Russian forces have consistently targeted Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure using various types of weaponry, including drones, missiles, and multiple rocket launchers. These actions have drawn condemnation from both Ukrainian authorities and international organizations, which classify them as war crimes.
Officials have emphasized that the strikes are aimed at disrupting essential services, including electricity, heating, water supply, and medical assistance, which they argue constitutes genocidal behavior.
In contrast, Russian leadership denies that its military intentionally targets civilian infrastructure, claiming that such accusations are unfounded.
Recent Russian missile and drone strikes in Dnipro have resulted in four fatalities and numerous injuries, raising concerns about the targeting of civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian officials classify these attacks as war crimes, while Russia disputes these claims.
